Sweden's 21 counties, from Skåne in the south to Norrbotten in the north, ready to colour, label or print.
The counties (län) group into the three traditional lands, Götaland, Svealand and Norrland. Sweden is one of the Nordic countries: add Norway, Finland and Denmark from the Europe map to compare.

Your maps stay yours
- Your map is saved in this browser as you draw. No account, no sign-in.
- Files you open (GeoJSON, KML, GPX, CSV) are read in your browser and never uploaded.
- A short link stores a copy of the map only when you make one, so the link works for anyone you send it to.
- What you draw is yours to use in lessons, articles, books and slides; keep the data credits on it.
